Verse 1:
G5                                                 E5    D5
If you try to catch me, you'll be the first to lose
G5                                                 E5    D5
Freedom can be lonely, loneliness makes me think
G5                                                 E5    D5
Still I'd rather (be on) my own, then put into a cage 
       G5                                      E5    D5
So if you try to catch me, I'm already far away...
         G5
I'm far away, I'm far away..


Chorus:
C5                G5                        C5                D5
I am a dream you cannot catch, I am your dream I can never be
         C5                      G5              C5                       D5
We fade away when ladybirds get paid, we fade away when ladybirds turn gray


Verse 2:
         G5                                    E5    D5
Not even you can bring life back from death twice
     G5                                           E5   D5 
My eyes are tired of trying to stay dry on rainy days
     G5                                           E5   D5 
I can't read your mind, even less can you read mine
     G5 
Can you read mine...Can you read mine?


Chorus:
C5                G5                        C5                D5
I am a dream you cannot catch, I am your dream I can never be
         C5                      G5              C5                       D5
We fade away when ladybirds get paid, we fade away when ladybirds turn gray


Verse 3:
     G5                                         
The freckles on the lips seem too much too resist
          E5              D5
wondering why they were stuck on my mind
             G5
I rubbed and scraped day after day just to get them away
             E5             D5          
it struck me down, now I don't know why

G5
my lips are marked with freckles all over
   E5
my lips are marked with freckles all over...All over


Chorus (2x):
C5                G5                        C5                D5
I am a dream you cannot catch, I am your dream I can never be
         C5                      G5              C5                       D5
We fade away when ladybirds get pale, we fade away when ladybirds turn gray
